Thread: Under text

How would I something to the effect of


and put an under brace under the x+x+x+x+x+...+x part that says "an even number of terms}?

[tex]f(x)= \underbrace{x+x+x+x+...+x}_{\text{An even number of terms}}[/tex]

Another tip: for best results, the ellipsis should be written using \dots = rather than ... = . And when the ellipsis is between two operators, use \cdots to get a proper center-alignment: e.g. or (doesn't that look nicer?).

And thank you o_O for making me realize that there is a [noparse] tag. I used to resort to such trickery as writing [[i][/i]math]...[/tex]. This makes it much easier!

You can note that for a brace over the whole, it's simply \overbrace :



[tex]f(x)=\overbrace{x+x+x+\dots+x+x}^{\text{An even number of terms}}[/tex]
